Excerpt

T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (T2w-STIR) sequence, typically used to identify oedema on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), is susceptible to artefacts and potentially prohibitive long breath-hold duration. This hampers calculation of myocardial salvage index (MSI), a measure of reperfusion success, which predicts remodelling and prognosis post ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). …
